Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi DH24PB 15/16-Inch Rotary Hammer with Case
Customer Review: Next Step Up
Summary: 4 Stars
My Milwaukee hammer-drill was fine for green concrete and concrete block, but I had to get something less frustrating when I had to drill granite fieldstone. I got fed up with the Jacobs chuck loosening even when I tightened it with 10" visegrips locked on the chuck key. I ran down to Home Depot to get this, and I must say it was a big improvement if only for the SDS+ chuck. The SDS+ bits cost more but they seem to be better made. Also the rotary hammer puts more impact force into the bit. This model of the Hitachi has only drill and hammer-drill; no chipping mode. Despite the rating of 15/16", the maximum hole is less than 1/2" in hardened concrete or granite. Otherwise, it does as good of a job as any of the other brands and costs less. I have some jobs coming up that will require a bigger beast, and I plan to get one of the spline-drive big Hitachis for that.
